403 402: Killer Whale? Tier 5? (16th Bonus Chapter)
The Dimension of The Old Ones.
The Dimension of The Old Ones was a world that was filled with monsters, abominations, and even places that defied meaning and common sense.
Encountering something that would either baffle or horrify the mind was something that was common to the inhabitants of the shattered dimension. However, there were certain places even the inhabitants of The Dimension of The Old Ones designated to be death zones or forbidden zones.
These death zones were places every inhabitant was warned about from the moment they became old enough to leave their various settlements, and one of the death zones was called The Morphing Expanse of The Multitude or in short, The Morphing Expanse.
The Morphing Expanse was not called a death zone because of how the land continuously reshaped itself at completely random and unpredictable times. It was called a death zone because no matter what terrain The Morphing Expanse changed to, it always had countless numbers of monsters.
When it became a land of mountains, hills, and rocky ground, it had countless numbers of beasts called Capra Ferox. These beasts were the goats Corey and Selene fought.
What Corey and Selene didn't know was that the previous terrain of hills, mountains, and rocky grounds had countless Capra Ferox. However, most Capra Ferox stayed inside the mountains and hills, and unless one encroached on their territory, they would choose not to attack.
However, this was not the same when The Morphing Expanse became a desert, what one encountered was not the Capra Feroxes, but Aqualapides.
The Aqualapides were much more terrifying beasts than the Capra Ferox. Not only were their numbers as vast as the sand of the desert, but they were much more vicious and acted purely based on their instinct which was to kill and devour.

"Hmm?" Corey frowned and looked down.
Although the countless number of aquatic beasts and the strange energies of the land prevented him from seeing past fifty meters, there was nothing obstructing him from perceiving the sounds produced in the ground.
Despite his Ears of Omniscience picking up on a different sound that was produced in the ground, he saw nothing. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
'Be careful and alert. Something might happen.'
Corey warned Selene just in case, and Selene was taken aback. She glanced at Corey and then at the ground. She exhaled slightly and then looked up. Unlike Corey whose control over his body was unparalleled due to his stars of consciousness, Selene's control over her body was just a little bit better than average.
Running while looking down was something she could not do without her speed reducing.
Despite the heavy rain and gravitational force that limited their speed greatly, they still ran at a speed that would stun an average tier 3.
As Corey ran while keeping his gaze on the muddy ground, something entered his range of vision, and a second later, his eyes widened in pure shock and disbelief.
'JUMP TO THE SIDE!'
Corey's shout shook Selene's mind, and for a fraction of a second, she was dazed. Luckily for her, her mind was already on alert and the second she recovered, she instinctively jumped to the side with everything she had.
When she did, her eyes widened in disbelief and realization… She had jumped off the platform Corey created.
'What the fuck did I just do?'
Selene questioned her state of mind and also how stupid she was as she fell. Although she had fallen, she was not too worried, she could fly.
Just as she was about to manipulate the mystic mana in the air so that she could stop her fall, she felt a presence from below, and the platform made of hexagons that reflected in her pupils shattered in the blink of an eye.
'What in the world?'
Selene's pupils slowly moved up as she gazed at a killer whale with terrifying spikes coming out of its back and spikes on its tails.
Yes, tails.
The killer whale had two tails instead of one, and these two tails had spikes on them. Its giant mouth was opened wide as it soared into the sky, allowing one to see the terrifying teeth it had.
As Corey and Selene gazed at this creature, they could sense it, and they knew it. They knew that this killer whale had the power of a tier 5.
'We're so fucked.'
Selene thought with a tinge of despair in her gaze as she watched the killer whale dive back into the muddy ground.
A second after she had this thought, her expression changed to one of determination and resolve. Although one of her worst fears had come to pass, how many times had she been in danger ever since she was born?
How many times had she found herself in near-death situations?
21:43
Although this near-death situation was definitely out of her pay grade, she wasn't going to give up just because of a damn fish.
She exhaled lightly, and then she manipulated the mystic mana in the air so that she could stop her descent into the sea of Aqualapides.
However, when she tried to manipulate the mystic mana in the air, she found out how absurdly difficult it was. The rain had made manipulating the mana in the air so difficult to the point that it would require all of her focus just to keep herself afloat.
Before a seed of despair had the opportunity to be planted in her heart and mind, she collided with something that caused her body to jerk upward and her eyes to roll inward.
Bang
Her heart rate spiked up in that instant, and the instant she regained her senses, Corey's voice resounded in her ears.
'Jump and run!'
Selene was stunned, and she quickly looked around.
Her eyes widened slightly when she saw that what she had collided with a hexagon platform. She looked in Corey's direction and saw him running on another platform made of hexagons.
Meanwhile, a few meters above her was another platform of hexagons that she was meant to jump to and run on.
When she saw this, she could not help but become stunned.
'What sort of monster is my master?'
